Coffee with a Codex: Ferial Psalter

An informal lunch or coffee time to meet virtually with Kislak curators and talk about one of the manuscripts from Penn's collections. Each week we'll feature a different manuscript and the expertise of one of our curators. Everyone is welcome to attend.

On October 2, Curator Dot Porter brought out Ms. Codex 1057, an illuminated Ferial psalter containing the psalms, antiphons, hymns, short chapter readings, and other prayers. It was written in Trento c. 1350. There is no CWAC recording. (OPenn, BiblioPhilly, Internet Archive)
